One hundred and one: Win the favor
When the rain came out, it was in the setting sun.
"What is the little master doing?" Luo Yu asked.
"Read in the temple." Luoxia replied.
Luoyu nodded and continued to walk inside, but saw Jiang Liu head-on.
It seems that Luoxia came from Jiang Liu's side.
Luo Yu didn't think too much, settled down, opened the curtain in front of the door and entered the hall.
"Han Shanggong just said to the slave maid, you don't have to use too much for lunch, you have eaten a lot of dim sum in Luomei Garden, and you are worried about accumulating food."
Yao Chuxi nodded: "It's true that I'm not hungry." ”
After a while, Jiang Liu brought lunch, and along with lunch, there was also the emperor.
The emperor didn't come alone this time, and he brought Princess Yunjing here.
Princess Yunjing should be about six or seven years old this year, and she is taller than the second prince, after all, the second prince is younger than her.
She didn't like to make a sound, so she stood there sullenly, and only asked Yao Chuxi to say goodbye.
"Princess Yunjing." Yao Chuxi walked over with a smile on her eyebrows, "She also came here to eat?" ”
The emperor nodded, took Princess Yunjing's hand and walked to the square table, "Fang Caizhen asked her to stay in the Taihe Hall for a while, thinking that you would take her to take a look." ”
No wonder.
Princess Yunjing is very festive, with a golden-red skirt and two 'dumplings' on her head, tied up with red satin, which looks very cute.
But if you look at her face, Yao Chuxi can clearly feel that this child is afraid of life. It's been like this for a long time, and I didn't say a word after I arrived at Yingxue Pavilion.
And she doesn't seem to be close to the emperor.
"Let's set the table." The emperor said.
The emperor came suddenly this time, and the meal sent by the dining room was just enough for Yao Chuxi to eat alone, with two more mouths, can he eat it?
So Jiang Liu went to the dining room again.
Yao Chuxi asked Princess Yunjing what she usually likes to eat, but she just moved her eyes and glanced at the emperor, as if she didn't dare to make a sound.
It was the emperor who asked her, and she spoke up, but she only said, "The son listens to his father." ”
is so introverted and well-behaved, Yao Chuxi can't say how Xie Meiren's education is.
I've heard before that Xie Meiren treats Princess Yunjing extremely harshly, and she is not old enough not to go to school, but Xie Meiren is more serious, and finds a Shanggong to teach her some poetry all day long, and her little hand has not completely grown and she has held the brush.
According to others, it is said that Xie Meiren was worried about losing her sacred heart, so she deliberately made Princess Yunjing* more excellent, so that the emperor could have a place for their mother and daughter in his eyes.
This made Yao Chuxi gasp after hearing this.
Children at this age are just playing around, even if they are princesses, they have not lost the truth of childhood, no wonder she doesn't talk or laugh, and occasionally opens her mouth to speak without any tone, like a puppet doll, reciting the polite words that Xie Meiren taught her.
Yao Chuxi heard this before and thought it was a rumor from outside, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that the rumor is true.
At the New Year's banquet that day, she also saw Princess Yunjing, at that time she was stronger than now, how could her kung fu change so much in ten days?
Later, Han Shanggong said that it was estimated that the reason why the little master was pregnant stimulated Xie Meiren, so she doubled down on Princess Yunjing.
During lunch, several people didn't speak, and Yao Chuxi could still talk to the emperor in normal times, but with one more person, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he ate.
She didn't see Princess Yunjing paying attention to any dish, as if she didn't like it, but the palace maid who was serving her next to her took a bite and she ate it.
"Not to your liking?" The emperor asked her.
Princess Yunjing raised her head to look at the emperor, and only spoke up after a while, "The mother concubine said that the meal should be chewed and swallowed slowly, and she can't speak and make a sound, and she can't talk nonsense when eating at the same table with her father. ”
The emperor and Yao Chuxi were stunned after hearing this, the emperor paused, put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "This is what your mother taught?" ”
Princess Yunjing nodded, "The mother concubine asked Erchen to memorize it, and Erchen didn't say a word." ”
The emperor glanced at Yao Chuxi, then turned his head to look at Princess Yun Jing, and reached out to touch her head, "Yun Jing, do you know that what your mother taught is wrong, you are still young, you don't need to learn those etiquette." ”
Princess Yunjing shook her head: "The mother concubine said that she is obedient and polite, and the father will like it." ”
"You are the daughter of your father, and your father likes it too."
Yao Chuxi sandwiched a small golden bun and put it on Princess Yunjing's plate, the bun was stuffed with dried scallops and shrimp, and the palace maid who served Princess Yunjing said that this was the princess's favorite food.
After lunch, the emperor took Princess Yunjing and left Yingxue Pavilion.
After returning to the Taihe Palace, the emperor called Pan Zhen'an.
"Your Majesty..."Pan Zhenan asked cautiously, "Are you for Princess Yunjing's business?" ”
The emperor didn't say anything for a while, and turned his head to look at him, "Xie Meiren, this is taking Yun Jing as a backer in the future." ”
Pan Zhenan didn't dare to say anything, just lowered his head, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty, you are angry." ”
"I'm not angry." The emperor got up from his chair and walked around the hall, asking as he walked, "Is there anyone in the palace who is suitable to take care of Yun Jing?" ”
Pan Zhenan pondered for a while: "Do you want Xie Meiren to continue to take care of Princess Yunjing?" ”
The emperor glanced at him, "She has a strong temperament, and she has Yun Jing, I always have to protect her glory for Yun Jing's sake, but this makes Yun Jing unhappy, what can I do." ”
After sighing, Pan Zhenan asked again, "Then aren't you worried that Princess Yunjing will be sad when she leaves her biological mother?" She's still young, and I'm afraid she won't be able to slow down for a while. ”
"You go to Jinhuaxuan in a while, and warn Xie Meiren, don't do anything crooked about the royal children, the Ronghua I can give will not treat her badly, let her do it herself."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Before lunch, the emperor summoned Yun Jing, which made Xie Meiren happy for a while.
What she has been worried about is that if Yao Meiren is pregnant and gives birth to a boy, Yunjing's daughter will not be very favored in the first place, but she is afraid that the emperor will snub their mother and daughter even more.
But at the moment, it seems that the emperor is still very interested in Yun Jing.
"Little master, Grandpa Pan is here." The palace maid Xiaomei came in and said.
"Got it." Xie Meiren casually cut her hair and sideburns, "Let him in." ”
After Pan Zhen'an entered, he first gave Xie Meiren a greeting salute, and Xie Meiren gave him a seat after letting him get up.
"The slave Xie Meiren is kind, and the slave is only here to upload two sentences for the emperor this time."
"Father-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xie Meiren thought that the emperor was going to reward her for something.
"The emperor noticed that the eldest princess Yun Jing was not very happy recently, and she was afraid that she would lose the fun of childhood, so the emperor ordered the servants to tell you, don't do anything crooked about the royal children, let alone use the imperial heir to compete for favor, and let you do it yourself."
Xie Meiren panicked when she heard this, "Father-in-law and slow, what do you mean?" ”
Pan Zhenan turned around and smiled, "What does the slave mean, you understand the beauty best, you have to learn poetry when you are old, Princess Yunjing is the emperor's flesh and blood, the emperor naturally likes it, and it doesn't bother you to teach, but it makes the emperor bored." ”
Seeing Pan Zhen'an leave, Xie Meiren couldn't say a word of questioning, until his back went out of the courtyard gate, and her whole body spread out on the chair as if she had lost her heart in an instant.
I thought that this thing was done without leakage, and he could leave a good impression on the emperor's side of teaching Princess Yunjing carefully, but I was afraid that things would be self-defeating, not to mention the emperor, even Yao Chuxi, who had close contact with Princess Yunjing for the first time, saw that something was wrong at a glance.
Xiaomei walked over, handed Xie Meiren a glass of warm water, and took her arm to help her sit up.
"Is the princess back?" Xie Meiren's eyes were empty at this time, staring at the patterns on the dark crimson plush carpet not far from her feet.
"Not yet, the princess is still in the Taihe Hall at the moment." Xiaomei replied.
Xie Meiren paused, and grabbed Xiaomei's forearm tightly with both hands, "When the princess comes back, let her go to the dormitory to find me." ”
"What are you?" Xiaomei saw that her master's forehead was covered with dense sweat.
"What's the matter?" Xie Meiren forced her eyelids and glared at Xiaomei.
Yao Chuxi is still worried about Princess Yunjing, but Han Shanggong said that tiger poison is not a child, what can she do even if she Xie Meiren competes for favor?
This is the truth, the current Xie Meiren is not as frivolous as she was pregnant with Princess Yunjing before, after a few years of polishing, she can be said to have no possibility of competing for favor at all.
If you don't grasp the straw of Princess Yunjing at this time, then let alone compete for favor in the future, the glory and wealth will leave her little by little.
In the afternoon, Yao Chuxi squinted for a while, and Han Shanggong took the time to withdraw and say a few words to Jiang Liu.
After the New Year's banquet, until now, Bijingxuan is still stuffy inside.
He said he was sick, but who knows if it's true or not?
"Have you inquired clearly?" Han Shanggong asked.
Jiang Liu slapped his arm twice with his hand, "I have inquired clearly, the little eunuch who was waiting in front of Gao Shunyi and my master knew each other before, did my master inquire about him yet?" ”
Han Shanggong smiled, "Don't talk about those useless things, get down to business." ”
"Gotcha!" Jiang Liu came closer, "The little eunuch said that Gao Shunyi let the emperor come to her, and during the adoption of Princess Yun Ming, she asked Princess Yun Cheng to go out to play in the snow many times, and then said that the princess had to go out, so she was sick. ”
Han Shanggong snorted coldly, "What kind of ability is it to use children?" ”
"Isn't it? The emperor was angry and directly gave Gao Shunyi a big mouth. ”
"It's light to beat her, how can the royal blood allow her to be treated like this." Han Shanggong said.
Jiang Liu echoed on the side, "This child who has no mother is really pitiful, I'm afraid that there are few people in the palace who treat her sincerely, and they all treat her as a tool to compete for favor, I hope Concubine De can treat her well." ”
Xie Meiren's mother is still like this, how good can Gao Shunyi be to Princess Yunyi?
